I love how he jumps from 'teaching lettering, math, and numbers to the disadvantaged' to troon grooming.

Remember CHAZ? That's what happens when these types try keeping a plant alive.Yeah it's amazing how few (readas: zero) of the most strident socialists I know I ever find out in the fields working to produce a harvest to help feed the masses...
This made me think of a book I read back in college after I changed my major from Early childhood education, when I was questioning everything and searching for what do do with my life, and trying to figure out how shit went the way its going, why, and if I should even give a shit anymore (spoiler: I pretty much don't, anymore. But I have started believing in collective guilt and that we all deserve this shit for letting it get this far in the first place. They've mastered the hegelian dialectic and we're all fucked for not realizing what was up, but thats a big digression for another time.)
It's part of the design, a confused population is easier to control by changing the truth to fit preconceived narratives or ideological endpoints. One of the ways that is done is by making truth and objectivity right wing or fascist and trying to eliminate sources and documentation of the truth. Again going back to Orwell "he who controls the present controls the past, he who controls the past controls the future". It's also why there's a lot of historical revisionism, it causes demoralisation.These industries or ideologies very often do not have concrete guideliens to what is and isnt true in them ( music being a subjective taste type thing ) is what runs rampant.
Oh man that still makes me laugh.Remember CHAZ? That's what happens when these types try keeping a plant alive.

It's the Vimes theory of economics.Today on "Not understanding the point:"

The comments of this thing were worse, moaning about how people blowing their money on Jordans and Gucci Belts does more for the economy than investing, and claiming that the first comment was saying the poor don't deserve money at all.
The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles. But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet
I am aware of the Boots theory, but the comments felt more like the so-called "velocity of money" theory where money changing hands is more important than that money being used productively. It's Keynesian bullshit used to claim that investing is just hoarding that does nobody good unlike them blowing money on Funko Pops.It's the Vimes theory of economics.
Astoundingly the wikipedia article is both fairly direct and on point but includes a reference to an actual decent bit of research being done in that vein.
Ah fair, I tend to fall back on the Boots theory since it's a catch all. As you posted the people talking about where it is being spent were there too. And unsurprising that people who include an excessive number who are entirely dependent upon the taxes of others for their lifestyle hate those who don't immediately spend their money rather than save.I am aware of the Boots theory, but the comments felt more like the so-called "velocity of money" theory where money changing hands is more important than that money being used productively.

I've heard the concept of the "poverty mentality," where people are so focused on immediately satiating their desires with what they have that it keeps them poor. A theory that basically describes why a lot of lottery winners are broke within a decade. The original quote seems to be referring to that, and the responses of thinking only with "literally rich and literally poor" seems to indicate that people with something resembling a Poverty Mentality got mad that they were called out.Ah fair, I tend to fall back on the Boots theory since it's a catch all.

"Geee, I wonder why people hate me? They must be bigots and nazis!"
I like how they have framed the two tea leafs in such a way you cannot discern their race. Nicely played. This is a fucking psyop!
